Chapter 36 Surprise at the Capital Gear Factory
Tang Riyue originally planned to go to the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Factory after lunch today to discuss the drawings of the new generation wheel hub bearings with Jiang Hui.
Unexpectedly, as it was approaching noon, I received a phone call to arrange for a meeting.
Fortunately, the meeting location was also the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant, so he could continue to find Jiang Hui after the meeting.
Many supporting factories on other "Automotive Industry Street" also received contact from the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Factory and rushed over for meetings.
Although the phone call did not say what the theme of the meeting was, many people actually knew that the First Machinery Department requested the BJ212 to be updated.
Not surprisingly, most people can guess that the theme this time will be related to the requirements of the First Machinery Department.
Before this meeting, a small meeting was also held within the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant.
After the design department reported their ideas to the factory director and chief engineer, it was no surprise that they received support.
Then the director of the technical department was called over by the leader to talk.
For such a major matter that is related to the future of the factory, the design department is resorting to conspiracy, and the technical department has no way to resist.
So even if the technical department is unwilling to get involved in the BJ212 upgrade, they can only agree with their noses.
Of course, Liang Yi is not stupid. Although he stated that the technical department will fully support the work of the design department, the daily work of the technical department is also very busy and can only arrange a part of the staff to cooperate.
Jiang Hui, a person who is remembered by others, will definitely not be able to escape.
In the end, it was Hou Guomin, the backbone of the technical department, and Jiang Hui and Chen Chenxing, who were the first batch of personnel from the technical department to support the design department, who were thrown out.
After all, the reason why the technical department is on the radar of the design department is because Jiang Hui and the others made a lot of noise when they went to the supporting factory for review last week.
“The design department has contacted the factory director and chief engineer. The factory director just talked to the division director.”
“The BJ212 upgrade is now handled by chief engineer Chen Qi personally as the project team leader. Director, and Huang Wenbin, the representative of the military stationed in the factory, is the deputy team leader. "
"The Technology Department and the Design Department are both members of the project team, and other departments must also fully cooperate."
"The Quality Department and The vehicle quality department has nothing to do with parts development, so this work coordination naturally falls to the technology department.”
"The director wants you, Hou Guomin, and Chen Chenxing to join the project team, and tomorrow we will officially start going to the design office to assist in the upgrade of BJ212."
Liao Chengwen did not beat around the bush, after learning the news He immediately called Jiang Hui to him and told him the arrangements inside the office.
There is obviously no room for bargaining on this matter.
Fortunately, I am still in the technical department, and I am only temporarily participating in the BJ212 upgrade project.
At least Liao Chengwen can accept this arrangement.
"Okay, I'll go to the design office tomorrow to see what the arrangements are."
I already showed my skills last week, so now is naturally not the time to hide my clumsiness.
This project has received relatively high attention from all aspects. As long as the results are achieved, Jiang Hui will be able to take the lead in the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant.
When the time comes, promotion and salary increase will be a matter of course.
Be famous early!
This is true not only for those engaged in art, but also for those engaged in technology.
......
In the large conference room of the Design Department, representatives from major supporting factories such as Capital Internal Combustion Engine Factory, Capital Gear Factory, and Capital Automotive Accessories Factory arranged to attend the meeting.
Chen Qi, chief engineer of Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant, made an opening speech and told everyone about the requirements of the First Machinery Department and some arrangements of Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant.
The implicit meaning is that all supporting factories are required to fully cooperate with this large project, and everyone should work together to complete the upgrade of BJ212. Otherwise, everyone will have nothing to lose by then.
"The overall background and spirit have just been introduced by Chief Engineer Chen. I will share with you the specific implementation plan."
"Combined the work of representatives from the First Machinery Department and the military stationed in the factory. According to the requirements, our new BJ212 needs to improve the power performance of the engine and reduce the fuel consumption level."
"This requires some simultaneous upgrades of the gearbox."
"Direct upgrade to 3AT. Or 4AT automatic transmission, there may be difficulties, but upgrading from 3MT to 4MT is the minimum requirement.”
"In terms of chassis and interior and exterior decoration, the comfort needs to be further improved so that people riding in the vehicle can have a better experience."
Speaking of this, Lu Jianqiang recalled the scene of riding the BJ212 in the winter. There was air leakage everywhere inside, and it was extremely bumpy when the road conditions were bad. The experience was really not good.
Especially now, BJ212 is widely used in many provinces and cities. Compared with a few imported cars, the riding experience is truly underground and heavenly.
No wonder the relevant departments have strong opinions.
“Combined with the overall requirements, the design department will set some overall performance indicators. We hope that each supporting manufacturer can also provide its own solutions within the next three months.”
"We strive to finalize the drawing specifications within this year, produce the prototype in the first half of next year, invite relevant departments to conduct test drives, and then finalize the prototype for production as soon as possible."
Lv Qiang said while looking at the participants personnel reaction.
Many people looked quite serious, especially those at the Capital Internal Combustion Engine Factory. The thought of increasing the power of the engine and reducing fuel consumption made them feel a little overwhelmed.
These two indicators are completely contradictory.
However, just when many people were a little worried, Ji Hua, the chief engineer from the Capital Gear Factory who came to attend the meeting, raised his hand with a relaxed expression and said: "General Manager Chen, Mr. Lu Chairman, our 4MT design plan has been verified, and we are currently preparing prototypes. The first prototype will be produced next month, and there will definitely be no delays!”
Hearing what Ji Hua said, Lu Jianqiang was stunned for a moment.
Has the design plan for 4MT been finalized?
What is going on?
I haven’t heard any news before.
Besides, the task of the First Machinery Department was just issued last week. It is impossible for the Capital Gear Factory to complete it so quickly, right?
You know, among the three major parts of a car, the gearbox is the most inconspicuous, but it is the one with the highest threshold.
Later generations of mainstream independent brand car companies can produce their own engines, and their performance in all aspects is pretty good.
In terms of chassis design, you can also make some breakthroughs relatively quickly by learning from other people's designs.
But in terms of gearboxes, even in another forty years, there is still a big gap with the international advanced level.
Most independent brand car companies still use gearboxes from international auto parts giants.
Aisin, ZF, JATCO...
Except for Fast, a company specializing in commercial vehicle gearboxes, China's own gearboxes are not very well-known.
For example, Capital Gear Factory has been producing 3MT manual transmissions before, but this product was completely eliminated in later generations.
But it is a product commonly installed on various domestic passenger cars.
Although 4MT only has one more gear than 3MT, there are huge differences in structure and performance.
Capital Gear Factory, this is a big surprise for myself.
The most important thing about a new book is to read it. I am sure the veterans will move their fingers every day to read the latest chapters~
